IS IT SAFE?
IS IT SAFE TO BE ON TOP DURING SEX WHEN I'M 30 WEEKS PRGNANT?

Mom Answers

I am 30 weeks along and my husband and I have found that lying with my legs off the edge of the bed and him supporting them works really well. Not much pressure on the belly or baby and still feels good. I must admit though, the best way so far is for me to be kneeling and him behind me. I am able to comfortably position my belly and use pillows to make the whole experience wonderful. As many have said before, whatever feels comfortable, do it!

It's completely safe for you to be in any position at any stage in pregnancy, unless your doctor has put you on a bedrest or pelvic rest state. Then you shouldn't be having sex at all. Also, make sure your significant other doesn't force a lot of air into your vagina, because that can cause issues as well. For example, actually blowing into your vagina like he was blowing up the balloon. Other than that, chances are you are safe. If you're really worried, I would talk to your doctor.

I am 34 weeks and have found that being on top is very uncomfortable. The only two positions that are comfortable for me are doggie style and to lay on my side and let my husband lay on his side behind me and spoon me. I am not crazy about the spooning one, but it adds variety. I love doggie style...haha! I always have...and as long as it's comfortable, recommend it to anyone:)

IM 37 WEEKS AND IVE ALWAYS LIKED TO SWITCH IT UP side position to me is more comfortable im to sensitive to be on top so u just have to play around if you dont feel comfortable dont do it try it standing up with husband behind you or do it doggie those feel the most comfortable

Well i am 30w and we are still having sex. i actually prefer to do doggy style or lie down, but i put my legs up to support his weight and he isnt leaning on me. i feel tired on top, and that i cant manuever as well. i feel crazy on top. but like they said, do what is comfortable.
